Vacant city-centre apartment with strong rental potential for experienced buyers.
618 sq ft two-bedroom period conversion with high ceilings
A vacant two-bedroom apartment in a converted Victorian mill, offered for sale by online auction with an opening guide of £30,000. The property occupies approximately 618 sq ft and features character details such as high ceilings and large rooms typical of period conversions. Its second-floor position provides a sense of privacy while keeping residents within easy walking distance of Bradford city-centre amenities and transport links.
This property is likely to appeal to investors or experienced renovators. It is sold with 77 years remaining on the lease — a material concern that will limit mortgage options and could require lease extension work by a buyer. Service charges are comparatively high at around £3,244 per year and there is an annual ground rent of approximately £200; factor these running costs into any purchase calculation.
Practical drawbacks include very slow broadband availability and a location within a very deprived, high-crime neighbourhood, which will affect lettability and long-term demand. On the positive side, proximity to Bradford Interchange and the University of Bradford supports rental interest from students and commuters. Buyers should download the legal pack, attend a block viewing, and seek specialist mortgage and lease-extension advice prior to bidding.
